Spirited Apricot Cherry Butter
Velvety apricots + sweet cherries + Grand Marnier = tongue bliss! Sadly, today’s recipe uses the last of the fantastic cherries I received from the Washington State Fruit Commission. Once again, I have enjoyed creating new ways to use delicious sweet cherries – grown practically in my back yard! Spirited Apricot-Cherry Butter is one of […]
Sweet Cherry Ginger Jam
Preserve the sweet cherry harvest to enjoy all year. If you, like me, love sweet cherries you probably try to stretch the season. For me that means purchasing as soon as they hit the stores – even at exorbitant prices, and then preserving them as the summer moves on to other stone fruits. In the […]
Sweet Cherries in Honey-Vanilla Syrup
It’s time for Washington State stone fruits again! One of the best things about living in this part of the country is summer stone fruits. Cherries, apricots, peaches, nectarines – you could almost live on fresh fruit for months! So I was thrilled when the Washington State Fruit Commission asked me to be a Canbassador […]
Apple Kiwi Kirsch Jelly
How to make natural pectin jelly. Although I make cases of jam every year, I seldom make jelly. Jelly is made from juice and needs pectin to set. Not many fruits have enough pectin of their own and require adding boxed pectin. Boxed pectin sets up too firm for me and gives me an upset […]
Sweet Cherry Almond Butter
Keep your nut and chocolate spreads – Nothing beats sweet cherries combined with almonds! It’s funny how some years Mother Nature bestows us with an abundance of one crop or another, only to snatch it back the very next year and leave us with dregs. That has been the story of our cherry tree experiment. […]

Cherry Mostarda
Make your 4th of July cook-out extra special with this spicy sweet relish. It’s Everything Cherries Week here at Seed to Pantry. That’s because I was gifted with a box of fresh, sweet cherries from the Washington State Fruit Commission as part of their Canbassador program. What is a Canbassador? As a Canbassador my job […]
Cherry-Lime Jam Recipe
One year our sweet cherry tree was overladen with cherries. Miraculously we were able to harvest them before the birds and bugs got their fill. I pitted and froze bags and bags of cherries. My fingers were purple for days. I cooked with cherries until the family begged me to stop. Apparently not everyone is […]
Brandied Cherries
We had a bumper crop of cherries from our two little trees this year, and luckily got our share before the birds ate them all! I pitted and froze most of them (the cherries, not the birds 🙂 ) to use in smoothies all winter long. But I couldn’t resist making these brandied cherries for […]
